The type, known as TF 21 S from 1934 onwards , is a series of 20 tram cars that were delivered to the Berlin Electric Tramways (BESTAG) in 1916 and ten to the Berlin Tramway (BSt) in 1921 .
development
The first ten railcars with the wagon numbers 220 to 229 were delivered to BESTAG in 1916 after they connected their northern and southern subnets via the Linden tunnel . They were given the numbers 4286 to 4295 after 1920. In 1921, the BSt ordered a second series of ten railcars, which differed from the first series in the window frames, which were made of metal instead of wood. The wagons were originally supposed to be delivered to BESTAG as well, but due to the First World War this did not happen. The cars were given the consecutive numbers 4296 to 4305, presumably they were supposed to be given the BESTAG numbers 230 to 239.

The two-axle railcars had closed entry platforms and seven side windows each. The car roof was designed as a lantern roof with seven skylights on each side. In the case of the cars delivered in 1916, power was drawn using Lyrabügel , after the merger of the Berlin tram companies, as in the second series, using pantographs . At that time the platforms were adapted to the Berlin standard platforms .
When the Berlin transport company was separated , nine vehicles were added to the BVG (east) and BVG (west). The whereabouts of the two railcars 4295 and 4300 is unclear. BVG (West) removed all vehicles from passenger traffic by 1956 and from then on used them as work vehicles until the tram operation was discontinued in 1967. A 394 work car (ex BESTAG 224, BSt 4290) was then dismantled to the historic 223 rail car and ended up in the BVG's collection of historic vehicles in the Britz depot . After the collection was dissolved in 1993, it ended up in the Monument Hall of the German Museum of Technology in Berlin .
Parts of the BVG (East) wagons were handed over to other GDR companies in 1957 and 1959 , and two wagons remaining in Berlin were retired at the same time. Car 4305 came to the Strausberger Eisenbahn as Car 8 and later came back to Berlin. It was taken over by DVN Berlin and should be restored as a historic vehicle. It was initially stored in the Schmöckwitz depot and was then to be transferred to the Niederschönhausen depot . In August 2008, however, a fire broke out in the hall, in which the vehicle was destroyed.
